Woman accused of OVI faces child endangering charges

The 27-year-old woman accused of using heroin and driving three children through the McDonald's drive-thru Saturday also is facing three first-degree child endangering charges.

It was a McDonald's employee who called Lancaster police after seeing a woman in the drive-thru falling asleep behind the wheel with three children in the backseat, including her 14-year-old sister and her two children, ages 4 and 7.

Police found the woman and conducted a number of field sobriety tests, which she did not pass, according to police reports. The woman eventually told police she had taken prescription medication and used heroin before driving, the report said.

The woman also is facing two first-degree misdemeanor charges of having physical control while under the influence and operating a vehicle while intoxicated.
